WHY They We're Continued.


The Woodland uaa of yesterday, speak
ing of the continuance by the Yolo county
Superior Court of the case of J. H. Harlan,
charged with killing E. L. Craft on the 9TH
of February, 1856, says: Messrs. Baker
and Craig appeared for defendant and Dis
trict Attorney Sprague for the people. The
question whether the case should be set 1oI
trial this term or be passed until the fall
term was discussed by the attorneys and
the Court. The District Attorney warmly
contended that throughout the State the
public and the press made loud complaint
because of the laws delays and the failure
of Justice He would not concede that at
some future term of the Court this case
could be tried without crowding over other
cases. Mr.. Sprague's protest against allow
ing the case to 20 over to the tall term,
was, at his request, made part OF the
Courts records. Judge Garoutte said 1t
would be impossible to reach the case until
so late in the term that the trial would
necessarily be continued late into the sum-
mer. The business of the Court had been
blocked BY the previous protracted trial OF
the case. Several parties had lain in jail
many months awaiting trial, and untll
these cases and others were disposed OF the
Court would not be disposed to further in
cumber the present terms work by at
tempting TO retry the case this spring. On
motion of the Court the case was passed, TO
be set for trial on the first Monday IN Sep
TENDER next"

Democratic Northwest. [volume] (Napoleon, Ohio) 1869-1894, 1887-12-22

- Considerable discussion il going on
among Democrats as whether to retain or
not the primary mode Of making nomina-
tions. This has been brought about BY the
partial failure Of our ticket this fall, in Ioos-
ing the best Office within the gift Of the
party. Ii Is question worthy Of the
thoughtful consideration of all Democrats
who have the welfare Of their party in this
county at heart. The Democrats Of this
county are not alone in having to deal with
this question, as quite number of the
strong majority counties, both Democratic
Republican, are considering the advisability
Of changing the primary system for some
other mode Of nominating. In view of this
the NORTHWEST would be glad "a, have Demo-
crats express themselves throughits columns
as TO their views upon the subject. A course
like this may possibly be the means of help
ing the matter to a happy solution. That
there can be devised system of making
nominations which is wholly devoid Of de-
feets is the next thing to an impossibiIity,
but some have advantages over Others,
and rice versa. The chief objection to the
primary plan is that under its rules it is
scarcely possible for any candidate, where
there are three or more for one office, to get
majority of all the votes cast, and as the
whole ticket ia selected at once there is
danger of nominating too many candidates
from one township, to the exclusion of other
localities. The mass convention has its
objection and so has the delegate system, the
chief objection to the latter being that the
delegates may be bought or otherwise con-
trolled. That nominations must be made
through some system is patent to the minds
of all, but through which system? This will
have to be decided by the organization. But
there is system little different from the
delegate system, and still retaining the
features of the primary, which may not be
amiss in the present emergency. 1t is this:
Delegates to a county convention could be
elected in the spring at the regular municipal
elections, each township selecting by ballot
their proportion of delegates according to
the Democratic vote cast by it the previous
fall. That is, instead of voting for candi-
dates you vote for delegates. But we have
not now the desire to advise change of a
remedy, but as the question is up we merely
throw out the above ideas that Democrats
may debate the matter. Our columns are
open to any one who has an idea upon the
subject, and who wishes to express it.

"a All the regiments of the Ohio national
guard will camp together next summer
This feature has been proposed several times,
but has never before been fully decided
upon. The encsmpment will be at Colum-
bus and will be held just before the centen-
nial exposition in that city. If suitable
grounds cannot be obtained in the immediate
vicinity of the town, some place within 10 or
15 miles will be selected. The encampment
will probably be of 10 days duration, and
after breaking up, the entire force will march
into Columbus and give an exhibition parade,
making the best feature of the exposition
All unattached commands will also join in
the camp.

q We call the attention of our Republi-
can readers to whatthe Chicago Tribune, one
OF the leading Republican papers of the
country, says regarding the Presidents mes
sage. The reproduced article will be found
upon our inside pages, and forceably shows
that while the bulk of the Republican party
m ay be in favor of keeping up the war taxes
in times of peace, there is thinking minorl-
ty, headed by such leaders as the Tribune,
who believe the time has come for a revision
and that the tax be reduced upon the neces-
saries of life.

~ General John Beatty, of Columbus,
Republican of Republicans, has been in
teryiewed by the Chicago Inter Ocean on
current politics. He is of the unequivocal
opinion that it will never do for the Repub-
lican National Convention to nominate Mr..
Blaine. He regards Blaine Republicanism
as dangerous heresy, and is for Sherman
and the orthodox faith. As between purely
military candidates., he strongly prefers
Private Dalzell to Governor Foraker. On
tariff revision be agrees pretty substantially
with President Cleveland. He describes the
beautiful workings Of q protective tariff this
way: ssThe manufacturer gives the work
ingman twenty Ave cents increased wages,
and takes from him fifty cents increased
profit" General Beatty Is man Of affairs,
profound knowledge and accurate Judgment.
He il, very naturally, in favor Of revising
and reforming the tariff. How he can be
any sort Of q Republican is q problem.

pions Of JEFF Davis, was sent to a foreign
court by a Republican President and Senate,
or when the arch rebel Keyes was taken into
the cabinet of another Republican President!

you not, our Republican friend, or is the

sg- II makes vast difference with Re-
publican newspapers, in some cases, whether
certain class of offenders are Democrats or
Republicans. In commenting upon the
missing Republican Clerk of Madison coun-
ty, and his defalcation, the London Times,
Republican, mildly terms it ''misapplied
trust" If the defaulting Clerk had been
elected by the Democrats, the Times would
have denounced him as a defaulter, an
embezzeler, thief. In Van Vert county, at
the late election, E. F.. johnson, the Repub-
lican candidate for Representative, voted in
two precincts, which the Van Vert Repubh-
can does not regard as an illegal act, but as
"a simple act of unconscious cerebration." "
These are new definitions in the Republican
vocabulary for Republican wrongdoers.

B- 1t is the Republican plan to reduce
taxation by reducing internal revenue taxes
upon whisky and tobacco, leaving the neces-
sites to be taxed. The Democratic policy
reverses this. Concerning the whisky and
tobacco tax President Cleveland says in his
message:
There appears to be no just complaint of
this taxation by the consumers of these
articles, and there seems to be nothing SO
well able to bear the burden without hard
ship to any portion of the people.
